The experts at AV-Test were unanimous in recognizing the overall effectiveness of Kaspersky Lab’s ability to protect financial transactions performed online. The award is primarily due to Kaspersky Lab’s Safe Money technology, a feature available in Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky PURE.

Kaspersky Lab and Kaspersky Internet Security in particular consistently receive top marks from AV-Test. The most recent results were published in August, following a six-month period of testing in which Kaspersky Internet Security was recognized as one of three security solutions (out of a total of 24) capable of providing the highest level of protection and usability. In the same month, Kaspersky Internet Security demonstrated excellent results in a separate assessment by AV-Test, blocking 100% of attacks that exploited vulnerabilities in legitimate software.

AV-Test is not the only organization to recognize the quality of Kaspersky Lab products: they regularly receive top awards from reputable organizations such as MRG Effitas, AV-Comparatives, Dennis Technology Labs, and others.
